Everybody needs a coffee table. And to make one out of a slice of tree trunk is just amazing. Be sure to put wheels at the foot area for easy portability. You can consider making it hollow at the bottom to reduce its weight. That should help you move it around with ease.

The larger a tree trunk is, the larger the table size you’ll get. This design is actually much better because it gives leg room. In turn, it sacrifices its portability feature. It’s good if you don’t plan to relocate your table positions that often.

A slice of trunk can be placed vertically to make a nature-shaped table. The naturally-hollowed trunk looks beautiful on its own without any additional design woodworking. You can place your photo frames and other small decors on top of it.

If you have an empty shelf by the balcony, this is something for you! The tree trunk itself already gives a beautiful planter design. So, it’s time to get rid of the plain orange plastic planter look and opt for this easy idea.
9. Wine Rack
Simply making holes in the tree trunk is all it takes to make this simple wine rack. You should probably put cushion foam in each of the holes to help grip the wine bottle better. It will be nice if there are some side branches and you can even wrap it around with fake green vines as decor.
